The Echoplex

Very respectful staff. Super accommodating coming from a wheelchair user. Good vibes!

My first time at this venue was very unpleasant. I was invited to a show at 9am the day of the show and tried to reach their phone number and email on their contact page for ADA accommodations. After not hearing anything from them, I decided to head to the venue and tough it out despite having a disability where I should not be waiting in hot, sunny weather outside on the ground. When it’s about time to go in, someone showed up who had apparently got through and requested early entrance so they could get first row. This is not a legal “reasonable accommodation” under the ADA, and is a common trick that is being spread around social media for early entry to GA shows. Venues like Tbe Fonda, The Greek, and even The Forum have actually disallowed this practice and eliminated it from their ADA accommodations. I shared this with their team, who interrupted me countless times, told me I didn’t look disabled enough to be given accommodations, and told me that I should have tried harder to get accommodations. I strongly urge this venue to revisit their ADA accommodation policies and discontinue early access for people who just want to be front row. If you are disabled like me, don’t try to go to a show last minute and expect to be accommodated in a fair and even way. BONUS: they called me, a person who had just self identified as someone with a disability, “insane”! That is incredibly ableist language. I hope they seriously take this as an opportunity to look internally as an organization at their practices, policies, and sensitivity training.

Clean, professional staff, safe. Mostly stand up, some seating and tables, bar in room. Public parking lot on Lemoyne street and on public street...not metered after 8p. Good place.

Random additional info that doesn 't seem available anywhere: 1 Yes, you can buy tickets at the door. (Obv you 're chancing the show doesn 't sell out. 2 There is bench seating around the entire back perimeter. 3 The sound is indeed pretty good as others have said, but it does bounce off the back of the walls slightly. 4 They open the doors to the outside for airflow, which may carry in some cigarette smoke. 5 There are snacks and small bites (think candy bars and hot dogs . 6 The canned alcohol is a LARGE size. 7 The bathrooms are gendered and the ladies is *clean*. 8 This is an easy-to-find location.

I'm probably super late, hadn't been back since the Before Times, and was happy to see the renovations they'd made. More space, elevated stage.
